It's That Time... Again!


Can you believe school will start in a week? I know the kids can't wait. The photo at left shows how kids from the past greeted the school year with enthusiasm. Don't they look happy? Those were the days.
Can you pick out Mr. Diaz in the photo?

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel



Today is the great feast for the Carmelite community. What great saints this order of priests and sisters have produced: Saint Terese of Liseaux, Saint John of the Cross, Saint Theresa of Avila, Saint Theresa Benedicta...

All of us should have and wear the brown scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Do you have one? I know Claire does. What about you?

Know Her?



You probably have not heard of this young lady, but she is a hero. Lila Rose is a 20 year old student at UCLA. She and a small group of young people have exposed the abortion industry, and in particular Planned Parenthood, for what it is... A racist organization with no scruples. She has audio taped employees at nine locations while portraying, in one case a 14 year old pregnant girl, an underage girl who needs an abortion. Tapes can be heard of Lila Rose telling the PP she is 14 and impregnated by a 31 year old boyfriend. Instead of reporting this to the police, she is asked if she can pay and get a signature from someone who has the same last name as she.

Some people do not remain indifferent to the abomination that is abortion. Need a hero for today? Here she is!

Feast of St. Thomas


Aren't most of us like St. Thomas: we only believe when we see or touch or smell or... you know what I mean. Trusting God is similar. We believe but most of us do not quite trust God.
Summer is passing quickly and I am busy working on my mom's home as well as my own. Fortunately, the summer has allowed me the time to invest much work in the two homes.
Enjoy each day for each one is truly a gift. Time passes so quickly that now I don't wish for things in the future. Growing up I was always wishing for time to pass; however, in my middle age I wish time would slow, a little.
Trust in God, and take your time!
